"We are now starting our second year of Sonlight and I wholeheartedly wish I had started to look into it sooner," writes Cathy T of Frederic, WI, who homeschools children ages 15, 11 and 3. "After years of struggles and tears for both my children AND myself, I'm finally getting a glimpse of what homeschooling is really meant to be. As a busy homesteading, hobby-farming mother of (soon to be) five, I love that the research has already been done and that everything is laid out for me in one place. But more importantly, my children are truly happily learning, and that thrills me beyond words! Thank you Sonlight, for reviving our schooling experience, which has in turn, revived our home." Leia (3) loves to "read" to 6-month-old Nathan. She's using Core P4/5 as her older sisters study Core 100 and Core E in their second year of Sonlight.

We're sold on Sonlight: It's backed by a tremendous amount of research and experience, it's academically rigorous, it's flexible to allow time for family and serving others, it has a scholarship program and our purchases support Christian missions. I also love that God's Word is being hidden in their young hearts. One of my favorite things about Sonlight is that we have a positive influence on our children's future, giving them a godly perspective of the world and the people in it. The P4/5 program helped our daughter memorize about 34 verses, and our son is starting to repeat verses back to us now, too! In their first year with Sonlight, Courtney (4) and Colby (2) watch mesmerized as a swallowtail butterfly emerges from its chrysalis.

"Since using Sonlight all of my children have a thirst for reading that is almost unquenchable," writes Tammy W of Asia. "We have used Sonlight each year we have homeschooled, but this year was the first for me to be teaching three children on such a wide scale of ages and abilities. I was nervous, but since we LOVE the books we decided to give it a try. It was easier than I anticipated to use parts of Core F that all four children could learn from and enjoy. We also used Core A and our 5th grader loved the Read-Alouds as much as our kindergartner!" Here, Beth (6), Samuel (11), Ruthie (9) and Isaac (2) use the China Kit from Core F to practice calligraphy.
